Hi there,

Some of you already know, but my video card just died while ago, so everything is on hold for now. Luckily i already did some updates before the vga’s armageddon. I’ll just leave it here and hope that everything still working.

Zakspeed escort gr.5 v0.6 hotfix for AC V1.3

Just a compatibility hotfix for the AC v1.3, I’ll not make another version since there’s literally just two lines changed in the physics to prevent the invalid setup issue.

Ford escort mk2 v0.3 for AC V1.3

Wow! I just realized that one year passed since the last update, I have no excuses for that, it was updated for me all this time, but I had no desire to share it again. I don’t even know why I’m doing this now, or I do? LOL. Anyway, there it is.

Hi there.

So another update, some more details added and some refinements, but for me, the most important thing is the “new handle” or “feel” (I don’t know how to describe this) introduced in the AC 1.2. The car is much more “alive” and dangerous in corners just as it should be IMHO, I’m enjoying it much more for sure 🙂 Thank you Kunos!

Also I’ve put the list of people who helped with something (donation) in the side bar of the blog, THANK YOU GUYS! As you can see it’s far less people than you can imagine, taking into account the number of downloads. I’m not complaining, just could be a bit better. If for some reason you don’t want to be named just let me know.

Another thing you may noticed is now all links will go through adf.ly if you lay the mouse over the url there a hint if you are not used to it. Just takes 5 seconds and can help me a bit 🙂

– Transparency sorting (glass)
– Not entirely happy with the damage (not final)
– Proper and unique interior model for turbo version (the N/A interior is ok, just need some more polishment)
– Materials still wip– No lod models Lod C, D, E?– No Lowres interior model– Live axle physics
– I’ll update this list when I remember the rest of the things

Hi there.

Sorry for the delay guys, I’m not in my best mood lately. Sometimes it’s just difficult to keep going.
So, it’s a compatibility update, plus one more skin.
Thanks again to KitrinosKat for his amazing work. Thanks mate!

Hi there!

I have some news for you.

Well, straight to the point, I’m now officially part of the DRM modding team and we already started the work a month ago or so, it’s a long way to go, but the results are promising. No wips or E.T.A. yet, but expect some news soon™ in the best sim related sites out there. Stay tuned 😉

I’m very happy to be part of such talented team and I feel the necessity to say a big thanks to the guys for the receptiveness and everything else. 🙂

So, lets back to the business here, this is not just a compatibility update, I’ve been working on it for a while and delayed it a bit because of the 1.1 update, we have some new details specially in the Turbo version and some optimizations too, I know that everyone are busy playing the Dream pack (myself included :P) but I hope you guys enjoy it.

Hi there!

Happy new year! A bit late of course, but at least it’s january yet 😛

Well, this is a graphics only update introducing the BBS “turbofans”.
I love this things so I decided to make them for the zak escort 🙂 they were used back in the day exactly like in the first picture of this post, so its not too off to use them in the car. It’s optional and default is without them.

Hi there!

When I released the car, my main goals was get some help in physics and sound and see the repercussion out there. Well, it worked. Very well. Plus I really felt surprised with the huge amount of page views and coverage about it, I mean, I’m completely new to sim racing (play GTR with a keyboard doesn’t count :P) and took some time to understand the importance in appear featured in some major sim-racing sites. No, I don’t feel like a Rock Star.

I’m very happy with the receptiveness and I hope you guys will enjoy it much more with the new physics and sounds made by Po Linii mod Team and KitrinosKat respectively, this guys did a amazing job here. I really liked it. I must leave here my big thanks and gratitude. And once again a big thanks to people who donated something, you guys make me cry go ahead! 😛

Oh yes, just for the record, now we have a new domain and G+ Page too 😀

Well, it’s time for the first release. I didn’t finished it yet but I need a break, so I decided to release a v0.2 version and see what you guys think. Or we can wait one more year 😛 Keep in mind it’s not finished yet mainly the physics part (and we neither have solid axle in AC) and still missing minor model details.

And another especial thanks to people who donated something, hopefully you guys can help me to buy a decent new video card 😀

Update 09/nov:

Well, the things reached a insane scale yesterday, the page views jumped from 500~600 daily views to 3.871. Impressive, at least people want to try this thing. But I’ve seen lots of love and hate around and I think I need to explain some things here.

This is my first experience in the modding community, everything you see here is result of lots of hours of trying and error. Months, actually. There’s no “make awesome physics in 5 easy steps” tutorial, I’m just an 3d artist with some experience with games, everything beyond this is a plus and in case you guys don’t noticed, despite from the help of named people above, this is a one person project and I’m neither physics guru or sound engineer, that means this two positions are available. Just complaining over the internet won’t help this project in any way.

I’m doing my best here, but I can’t handle everything alone with extreme quality. Not in less than a year.

Just for the record, I’m not mad at all, I know there’s flaws here more than anyone.

Know issues/ TODO:

– Transparency sorting (glass)
– Not entirely happy with the damage (not final)
– Proper and unique interior model for turbo version (the N/A interior is ok, just need some more polishment)
– Interior materials need some polishment
– No lod models
– Lotus 98t placeholder sounds
– The turbo version may be a bit overpowered ATM
– I’ll update this list when I remember the rest of the things
